Ball hits the wood

Sometimes when I hit the ball I can hear it  hit the wood. Does this mean that I have to get thicker or harder rubber?

Hi Vincent,

It may just mean that you need to brush the ball more on contact.  If your are contacting the ball flat it will sink into the wood rather than utilising the spin of the rubber.

When you need to reach that really wide ball the regular shuffle step just won't get you there in time so you need to use the crossover step. This is essentially a running action to get you to the ball as fast as possible.
